Albert received his A.B. in Physics from Princeton University in 2015, with a certificate in Biophysics. He is currently a Ph.D. candidate with Dr. Aravinthan Samuel at Harvard University. Albert studies the compact nervous system of the nematode worm C. elegans, pursuing biological and technological approaches which will help bridge single-cell and network scales of inquiry. He developed methods for recording and analyzing whole-brain activity, and used these methods to study chemosensory ensemble responses, build tools for deterministic pan-neuronal landmarking, and compare functional activity to the C. elegans connectome.
